I Finished Ma Caves

[Gill]

Taken me 5 Hours from start to finish,

But I think its worth it.

Enjoy

 

[Gill]

From that to this

 

[Gill]

I am going to remove most of the gravel.

And cut the Bottom of the Pond to create a Slate bed for the Tank.

Will Cut Holes in it so tha the fish can go in and out of the base of the tank.

The Kuhlis Will Love it. And So will the Banjos.

Guess what Kazoiee is not dead. little Bros must have stunned him with a Marble. Found Him while removing hanging plants to put on background.

Hee Hee Is going to be fun.

Looks good, man... can't wait to see it in the tank.

 

[Gill]

All the scraps left over are going to be joined together and cover the outside of the tank to make a slate border.

 

[Gill]

Have removed 95% of gravel to leave enough for cats and kuhlis.

damn the gravel was dirty. Will do a wate change in the evening before i go to bed once it settles down.

I will let the filer run up untill i add the background. then clean it and readd.

I have added the filter that came with my rena 3.5 gallon. to help with the amount of crap that is now in the water.

Have added an Air stone to help oxy the water.

I am going to see how much gravel will be needed when the background goes in as I have never really liked Gravel.

may Raise the Slate bed By 1Inch to make more room underneath it.

Sorry if their is lots of letters missing,just installed Wireless mouse and keyboard, ad its still missing some key presses.

They look great,ps!

The room in the backround is very pretty,too. I love those walls!

 

[Gill]

thanks Heather

I am going to install the peices on saturday. want to make sure that the silicone is competeley dry b4 adding. learnt from previous mistake.

Crystal Volcano Fell apart as could not wait to put it in.

I have made the rows of grass 2" apart so that there are channels for the fish to swim in.

Is 1 inch gap big enough.

PS Finally going back to work in the morning. Got the all from my doc.

 

[Gill]

Right

B4 I went to bed last night I took some of the Large peices of Slate from the Barrel Pond.

Tested them with distilled Vinegar. OK.

Have had them Simmering away since 6am.

Will leave them simmering untill tommorrow.

and then add them as well. as it will mean not having to mess about with trying to fix it to the glass permanently. .

 

[Gill]

The Silicone has gone off quicker than i Expected.

Have added the whole ting in it now.

Cant fit the filter to the back now, so it is at the front of the tank.

I will cove it with a slate border.

Will Post pix shortly.

Have removed all the bettas apart from libby from the tank. Do not want to lose anyomore.

Also got to more yellow cellophanes this evening and a blue coral molly.

I have used bell jars for rthe ne Bettas.

Magenta is still alive and going well. he has built a large bubblenest, so he must be etting better.
